Call Me, Still Life painting by NY artist, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.
Daily Painting, Abstract Landscape, "Lighting the Heavens" by Carol Schiff, 12x24x.75" Oil SOLD
In this painting, my goal was to capture that magic moment when the sun just peeks through the horizon and night turns to day.
For me, that is the best moment.......knowing I have a brand new day to enjoy.
I did my favorite palette knife technique (which I have labeled color weaving) on this. I find it gives me a great way to blend from one color to another.
I hope your day is fabulous and if you have not seen a sunrise lately...set your alarm for tomorrow, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the show!

Tropical Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Sunset in the Wetlands", 6x8" Oil Painting
This tropical landscape painting depicts the sinking sun and reflections on one of Florida's many waterways. This particular wetland is located between Florida's intracoastal waterway to the west and the Atlantic on the east, on the barrier island that runs down the east coast of Florida. It's a particularly fascinating place as the two bodies of water are less than 1/2 mile apart.

I am just returned from a month in our North Carolina mountain home. We usually don't stay that long, so, this time I took all my painting supplies and was determined to paint while there. I finally accomplished this painting, but let me tell you it was not easy. I could not find the perfect lighting, the perfect place to work (we just put in all new flooring which would not look good with oil paint splattered all over it). All in all, I did not feel comfortable and was sooooo happy to return to my studio in Florida. This is something I will have to get used to as we will be spending much more time in the mountains than in past years. Studio painters (like me) get so spoiled.....I almost wish I were a plein aire painter who can paint anywhere and under any conditions.

Have a happy day today!

"Freesias in Lilac" by Lynda Cookson
"Freesias in Lilac" has very special meaning for me. Reaching a bit of a low at one stage, my husband came home from a shopping trip one day and presented me with a stunning bouquet of Freesias. His pick-me-up worked wonders and this painting seemed to just create itself on the canvas,

Dog Portrait, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 16x20x1.5 Animal Painting, SOLD
Today, I am posting a commission painting. I find that doing a commission is a whole different ball game. Do you agree?
The client was asking for three paintings of his two dogs. One of each, and one of both animals.

| detail SOLD This is the first painting. I always second guessing myself when I work on a commission. Does the client want this, or do that want that. Is it too dull for them, or too bright, or too much detail, or not enough. It is hard guessing what a perfect stranger would like! Add to that the dreaded deadline! In this case, I had only a short time to complete the artwork, due to my schedule. What if I failed and produce a suitable painting in the allotted time? While commissions are stressful for me, I always welcome them.....I just have to remeber the sense of accomplishment I have, when the project is accepted by the client. I believe a little stretch is good for everyone, especially us artists Thanks for reading my blog today......and keep painting! |

Small Seascape Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" impasto painting
I don't know how you start your days, but, whenever possible, I love to grab my camera and a cup of coffee and head to the beach to watch the sun come up. With a morning like that, it is impossible to have a bad day!
I like texture in my art and one of my favorite tricks, is to take a failed painting, leave the texture and use the panel again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Many artists use their canvases more than once, but convential wisdom is you must sand it down. I
sometimes do that too, but if I want to do a little expressionism, I say, why destroy all that lovely texture?

Small Coneflower Painting, Flower Painting, Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Floral Landscape
I planted coneflower (echinacea) around my home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. So...of course, I had to paint them too.
I find them to be easy to grown, and cheerful, with their giant heads and quirky style.
I painted several coneflower paintings last summer, in many sizes and styles. Somehow, this little one was overlooked and never posted.
All in all, I feel good about the results. Hope you like it too.
Have a blessed day!

Four Seasons Abstract Painting - Autumn, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 4x12x.75" Oil
Today I am posting the 3rd of my abstract Four Seasons Series, Autumn.
My goal was to represent each season, in an abstract form, using only color. With this piece, I was thinking of pumpkins, falling leaves and shockingly blue skies.
And this is Summer.
I will be posting "Winter" soon.
I had fun with this series and hopefully, I "stretched" by abstract skills a little.
